Chapter 286: Heaven Seizing Clan!
Ye Guan was silent as he stared at the young woman. The mysterious voice had just told him that she couldn't defeat the young woman before him.
In other words, the young woman was at least a Great Sovereign.
Why was she targeting him? It didn't make sense unless…
Ye Guan suddenly exclaimed, “You have the Time Mirror?”
A hint of surprise flickered across the young woman’s eyes, but she was silent.
"Perhaps…" Ye Guan examined her carefully and asked, “You're the Time Mirror?”
The smile on the young woman’s lips vanished.
Ye Guan saw that and was convinced that he was right.
The young woman was the Time Mirror!
The young woman stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, “How did you know?”
Ye Guan replied, “I deduced it."
The young woman chuckled and asked, “How?”
Ye Guan explained, “Master Pagoda said that the Time Mirror must be here because he could feel its unique undulations here. You told me that the Time Mirror is here, and someone told me that you're half-correct.”
In other words, the Time Mirror is really in the river, but you're the Time Mirror, and the Time Mirror is you!"
Ye Guan paused for a while before continuing. “Of course, I was just deducing."
The young woman burst out laughing. “Young Lord Ye… you're so smart!”
Ye Guan cupped his fist and said, “I'm here for the Time Mirror, but I'm not here to take it away. I just want to borrow it.”
“You don’t want to take it? You just want to borrow it?" the young woman smiled and said," Young Lord Ye, you don’t have to lie to me.”
Ye Guan opened his palm, and a tiny pagoda appeared in his hand.
“What do you think of this pagoda?” he asked.
The young woman cast a casual glance at the pagoda and mumbled, “It's lame—”
The young woman stopped mid-sentence with raised brows. She stared deeply at the tiny pagoda as a solemn look took over her expression.
“It's incredible!” she remarked.
Meanwhile, Little Pagoda was trying his hardest to suppress his fury.
Ye Guan wasn't quite done just yet. He opened his palm, and the Divine Tree of Nature appeared in his hand. His gaze fell on the young woman as he asked, “What do you think of this?”
The young woman's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “The Divine Tree of Nature!”
Ye Guan nodded.
With a thought, the Path Sword appeared between Ye Guan and the young woman.
“What do you think of this sword?” asked Ye Guan.
The young woman's expression turned grim as she stared at the Path Sword.
“Do you believe me now?” Ye Guan asked.
The young woman was silent.
Eventually, she broke the ice and asked, “Just borrowing, right?”
Ye Guan nodded without saying anything.
The young woman asked, “What can you give me?”
Ye Guan pondered for a while before asking, “What do you want?”
The young woman examined Ye Guan from top to bottom, and her lips curled up into a smile. At that, Ye Guan became slightly warier of the young woman. For some reason, he felt that the young woman was bad news.
The young woman fell into deep contemplation. After a while, she emerged from her thoughts and said, “I would like to enter your pagoda to cultivate in it. I also want you to give me a steady supply of the Divine Tree of Nature's Force of Nature.
"I also heard that the Guanxuan Universe has a Spirit Progenitor. The next time you meet her, I want you to ask her to help me become even stronger. If you agree, I'll help you fight, but I will not acknowledge you as my master nor establish a contract with you, do you understand?
Ye Guan thought about it for a moment before saying, “Sure.”
He agreed because he believed that he wouldn't lose anything.
The young woman smiled and said, “All right, it's settled, then.”
“All right.” Ye Guan nodded.
The young woman broke out into a bright smile. If she were dealing with someone else, she wouldn't have paid even the tiniest bit of attention to them, but Ye Guan was the King of the Guanxuan Universe.
The young woman was confident that she would reap immense profits by staying by Ye Guan's side. Most importantly, the Guanxuan Universe had a Spirit Progenitor. In other words, the young woman would gain a lot without losing much.
"What's your name?" asked Ye Guan.
The young woman responded, "Yu Suiyue."
Ye Guan nodded slightly and said, "Lady Yu, I would like you to help me find someone."
Yu Suiyue smiled, and she was about to respond when her expression changed drastically.
"Watch out!" the mysterious voice yelled.
Watch out? Ye Guan's expression turned serious.
He knew that the mysterious voice would never warn him unless the danger was exceptionally severe. In addition, the expression of the young woman before him had changed drastically as well.
Ye Guan turned around and saw a young man walking toward them. The young man was dressed in a black robe, and his hands were behind his back. He looked pretty young, seemingly about twenty years of age.
Ye Guan's brows furrowed. He couldn't sense even the slightest hint of profound energy from the young man. Yu Suiyue's eyes were on the young man as well, and her expression became even more solemn.
Ye Guan's face darkened upon noticing that. Yu Suiyue was at least a Great Sovereign, but she was actually wary of the young man. It could only mean one thing—the young man was at least a Great Sovereign as well.
The young man's gaze fell on Ye Guan.
"You must be Ye Guan, the King of the Guanxuan Universe?" asked the young man.
Ye Guan nodded.
The young man chuckled and asked, “Ye Guan, are you willing to part with this young woman?”
Ye Guan frowned. “What are you talking about?”
The young man’s eyes narrowed. “If you're not willing to part with her, then I'll have to steal her from you!”
Swoosh!
The young man stepped forward, and a terrifying deluge of energy engulfed both Ye Guan and Yu Suiyue.
The young man was a Great Sovereign!
Ye Guan's pupils constricted.
He was about to make a move when his figure erupted into a radiant light.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as the young man's attack was blocked.
Ye Guan was stunned. Why did the mysterious senior intervene?
"So, it's you," the black-robed young man grinned and said, "Interesting. I didn't expect you to be involved with the Guanxuan Universe."
Ye Guan's brows furrowed. He knows the senior in the tiny pagoda?
"He's the reincarnation of Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao, and he's more powerful than ordinary Great Sovereigns!" the mysterious voice shouted urgently, "Run!”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao! Ye Guan was stunned. He was astonished to discover that the young man was actually the reincarnation of the Heaven Seizing Clan's Clan Leader!
Just then, Yu Suiyue grabbed Ye Guan's hand and shouted, "We have to go!"
Yu Suiyue turned into a beam of white light that disappeared into the distance with Ye Guan.
"Want to leave?" Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao chuckled and threw a punch.
Ye Guan and Yu Suiyue had arrived at a spacetime tunnel, and they were running away at their maximum speed. All of a sudden, they turned around and saw a terrifying fist imprint flying toward them.
The fist imprint was both tyrannical and powerful; it tore apart every inch of spacetime that stood in its way as it made a beeline for Ye Guan and Yu Suiyue, creating an extremely terrifying sight.
Yu Suiyue pulled Ye Guan behind her and opened her palm.
A beam of light created from time energy soon manifested above her palm.
However, the beam of light containing the wondrous, inscrutable profundities of time failed to withstand the oncoming fist imprint—it shattered upon impact.
Boom!
A radiant light burst out of Ye Guan.
Boom!
The collision generated a force so terrifying that it hurled Ye Guan and Yu Suiyue backward. When they finally managed to recover and stop, Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was already standing not too far away from them.
Ye Guan stared at Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao and said, "Sir, there are no grudges between the Guanxuan Universe and the Heaven Seizing Clan.”
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao looked at Ye Guan with a smile. "Young Master Ye, you're taking the wrong approach here if you're trying to intimidate me.
"The Guanxuan Universe isn't afraid of the True Universe, but my Heaven Seizing Clan isn't afraid of them!”
Ye Guan stared deeply at Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao and said, "There is no enmity between us, and I don't think a clan leader should deliberately start a war when we have a common enemy to handle.
"It doesn't make sense, yes, but it finally makes sense now. Your goal isn't just the Time Mirror, but the Mad Demon Bloodline running through my veins!"
Ye Guan could still remember the mysterious voice's explanation about how the members of the Heaven Seizing Clan could seize the bloodlines of others. With that in mind, it wasn't too difficult for Ye Guan to deduce that Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was here to seize his bloodline.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s eyes glimmered in surprise as he jeered, “You're as weak as a chicken, but your intelligence is remarkable.”
Ye Guan stared deeply at Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao.
“Are you sure you want to start a war between us?” he asked.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao chuckled. “Young Lord Ye, I know that the Guanxuan Universe is quite formidable, but you can’t scare us. You weren't even born yet when my Heaven Seizing Clan was fighting against the True Universe."
Swoosh!
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao threw all caution to the wind and hurled a punch at Ye Guan, who was only an arm's length away from him.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao’s eyes shone brightly with greed. He had seized millions of bloodlines in the past, but Ye Guan's bloodline still managed to surprise him. It was his first time seeing such a powerful bloodline.
In fact, he reckoned that Ye Guan's bloodline was on par—no, it was stronger than the Heaven Seizing Bloodline. Ye Guan also had three bloodlines running through his veins, and each bloodline was comparable to the Heaven Seizing Bloodline.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao was certain that he would become invincible through and through upon seizing Ye Guan's bloodlines.
Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao let out a maniacal peal of laughter at the thought of it.
He was truly unafraid of the Guanxuan Universe.
The Heaven Seizing Clan was even daring enough to fight the True God, so why would they be afraid of a paltry Guanxuan Universe?
Kill!
Boom!
A radiant light exploded from Ye Guan, blocking Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao's fist.
However, the collision still generated enough power to obliterate the nearby chunks of spacetime, and it also sent both Ye Guan and Yu Suiyue flying a few hundred meters away.
"Even if you were at your peak, I still wouldn't spare you even a glance," said Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao with a chuckle. His thrilled gaze landed on Ye Guan. "My clan told me about the Mad Demon Bloodline upon my rebirth.
"I didn't really pay much attention to the Mad Demon Bloodline at the time, so I was truly surprised to find that it was actually such an extraordinary bloodline. It's a jackpot that I've been ignoring for quite a while now!"
With that, Sovereign Heaven Seizing Dao rushed toward Ye Guan.
Ye Guan's eyes narrowed, and his eyes were suffused with killing intent.
I don't attack unless provoked! Ye Guan roared, "Men!"
Boom!
A spacetime rift manifested behind Ye Guan, and an old man walked out of it.
The old man bowed toward Ye Guan and greeted, "Greetings, Academy Master!"
Ye Guan's expression was indifferent, and he sounded languid as he said, “The Heaven Seizing Clan has become our enemy. I want you to impose sanctions on them and put a stop to all dealing with them. The Immortal Treasures Pavilion shall not cooperate with those who are involved with them, and a bounty of a million spiritual cores is hereby placed on every member of the Heaven Seizing Clan!"
The old man was stunned.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, “I think that's too much, Academy Master.”
Ye Guan turned toward the old man.
The old man explained, “The members of the Heaven Seizing Clan aren't worth that much; a hundred thousand spiritual cores for each of them should be enough.”
